This week's parashah, B'ha'alot'kha – בְּהַעֲלֹתְךָ ("when you step up") – Bamidbar/Numbers 8:1 - 12:16, the menorah in the mishkan (tabernacle) is described along with the responsibilities of the Levites. The people kvetch to Moses about the lack of meat; in response they get meat, but also a plague (be careful what you wish for). Miriam and Aaron complain about their brother Moses and his "different" wife. Miriam is punished with a skin disease that is cured after Moses prays on her behalf. (be careful who you gossip about).
Join in on Zoom to read and discuss the parashah this Saturday, June 14, beginning at 10AM Hawai`i time. No prior knowledge is necessary and we welcome a variety of viewpoints.  Contact Us – Kona Beth Shalom
